What We Do

We hope to publish honest, raw, beautiful painful stories, essays, lyrics, and all in between.

This is a publishing house and an online magazine; it is the home for ideas inviting yet exacting, in all their forms and manifestations.

Life is chaotic, until it is not. Then it is still chaotic, though you might not know it. There is peace in that.

See things as themselves, as yourself.

What We Publish

Iami Yesai publishes fiction, essays, lyrics, music, character sketches, short reviews, and short situational analyses. We want perspective and transcendence.

General Concerns:

The philosophical, psychological, existential, absurd // the ironic + sincere // the observational // America as it was, is // The Internet and our time // Football (soccer) // Travel // Concise book, film, music reviews // Peace, war // Audio recordings (e.g. of the author reading a story, lyric) // Essays on humanity // Dispatches from various places & angles // [et cetera.]

We also consider novella- and book-length manuscripts.

Non-concerns:

Genre distinctions. We also publish “Science Fiction,” so long as it holds something more than a label affords.

Language. We publish in any language, with consideration for our audience. If you send a work written in a language different from English, it should be accompanied by a quality English translation to run alongside it. All work will be considered.
